There Are Many Good Reasons To Consider A La Vida Buena Vineyard

 

                            The 4.25 acre 2 year old La Vida Buena Chardonnay vineyard pictured above in March of 2012 will yield                                           sufficient grapes that when harvested and sold will pay all vineyard expenses and generate a positive surplus                        income stream of US$500 monthly or US$6,000 annually. By the year 2015 the net income could double.

La Vida Buena Vineyards are unique (see Plat Map below illustrating available vineyard parcels. You can {click} the Plat Map to Enlarge). Each Vineyard Owners have a a 100% turnkey investment property and a great place to stay for free when visiting our future Estancia. 100% Turnkey means our professionals, vineyard workers, vineyard Manager, Agronomist, Enologist, even an Argentine CPA do all of the vineyard maintenance and paperwork work for you and because you are part of a group of vineyards your monthly vineyard maintenance fees are dramatically reduced, up to 50% or more. We pay the first two years of vineyard maintenance and then charge US$295.00 monthly per 5-acres. Many developments charge immediately for vineyard maintenance and as much as US$1,200.00 monthly for the same size vineyard.

This 137 page Guide revised in 2011 was written by Tom and Yvonne Phelan, two Americans who have lived in Argentina since 2007 and have fulfilled their dream of owning a vineyard in Argentina.

Once they discovered Mendoza Province that includes San Rafael they have been residents ever since.

La Vida Buena Boutique Vineyards, a 108 acre Development, has individual Owners from California, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Ecuador and Holland.

In this handy Guide Tom and Yvonne share the trials and tribulations of scouting then selecting the right vineyard. Theirs "hands on" experience will dramatically reduce your vineyard learning curve allowing you to be much better prepared to begin your search for the perfect Argentine vineyard.

In late 2009 into early 2010 La Vida Buena Vineyards planted its first seven Boutique Vineyards ranging in size from 5 acres to 14 acres. March 2011 was the first harvest of Malbec, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes.

The Enologist (Winemaker) from San Rafael's leading Bodega Bianchi purchased our 2011 grapes. Winemakers from three of the oldest and most prestigious Wineries in San Rafael visited La Vida Buena Vineyards and want to make wine for us in 2012.

My wife Yvonne and I invite you to take a moment out of your busy life, as we did in December 2007, and picture the Mendoza Province fondly called, “la tierra de sol y buen vino,” the land of sun and good wine where 70% of all Argentine wine is made.

 
Envision your very own 5 acre vineyard that each year produces 45,000 pounds of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah or Chardonnay grapes and an on-site Bodega guarantees to purchase your grapes or process the grapes into 15,000 (750ml) bottles of wine. You can be as little or as much involved in the wine making process as you choose.

Picture a pastoral setting so satisfying you can’t wait to return for the next grape harvest and festive Vendimia (Grape Harvest Gala) and to revisit nearby lakes, rivers and canyons for fishing, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, horseback riding, bicycle riding and skiing in August. And the food is incredible, freshly picked vegetables from your garden, and dinners on your terrace while enjoying your personally labeled wine with family and friends.

"I have been 100% involved with vineyards in Argentina for the past two years. When I talk to American and European owners of Argentine vineyards they commonly express two universal ‘wishes’… 

They wish they could leave their vineyards each year for travel and to return home for a few weeks or months knowing while they were absent someone really cared about, and was watching over their vineyard investment.

They also wish they had a nice place to stay on their vineyard but to build a vineyard residence and only use it on a part time basis just doesn't make economic sense. And it would deplete capital they could better spend on the vineyard. 

I so often hear. ‘Staying at Hotels and having to rent a car to drive to my vineyard everyday is not what I had in mind.’

Unfortunately for too many vineyard owners these ‘wishes’ rarely become realities.”

THE ANSWER MAY BE WELL WITHIN YOUR REACH

After a lot of thought about what existing Argentine Vineyard Owners like and don't like, La Vida Buena Vineyards was created. One of the key issues was owning a vineyard hassel free, like a Time Share where you could be gone for years and upon your return your suite is picture perfect and ready.

La Vida Buena Vineyards is not a Time Share or Fractional-you receive a Deed Fee Simple to your vineyard but because La Vida Buena Vineyards comprises fifteen small vineyards on 108 acres it can collectively offer many things a stand alone 5 acre vineyard cannot, for example low monthly vineyard maintenance fees starting at USD$175.00 that include on-site 24/7 Workers, Worker's House, Vineyard Manager, Agronomist, Argentine Accountant to handle all aspects of owning a vineyard; e.g. payroll, government mandated employee benefits, and us-the Phelans who will live on the property in the Estancia.


                             La Vida Buena 5+ Acre 100% Turnkey Vineyards

Small vineyards (5 – 25 acres) are like snowflakes-no two are alike but they do have one common denominator- most were never designed to be a turnkey vineyard where an owner can be absent for weeks, months, even years and never worry about who is, “Minding the farm?” and when visiting their vineyard property being confident that there will always be a lovely residence to stay and enjoy one’s efforts and investment.

La Vida Buena Vineyards has the answer that includes all levels of professional management, 24/7 on-site worker, vineyard manager, agronomist, Enologist and professional accountant and surprisingly affordable … more information ...
